Is CL14 DDR4 worth the disproportionate price bump?
I bought a Zen+ system for dirt cheap (I intend to use it as a server) but it's really fucky with more than one RAM stick in. Is it worth it to hunt down a kit on the QVL or do I just find the largest capacity single stick and call it a day?
>>102829901are you trying to run it with OC? just use JEDEC for server
>>102829263if you have to ask, then no, it's very niche
>>102829965No. A single stick works perfectly even with XMP on but multiple sticks, in any configuration, even at stock speeds cause boot problems, freezes, all that jazz. It's not a particular slot that's bad because a single stick works anywhere.

I'm stupid and I don't know anything about 12VHPWR, will I be able to power a 4070 Super off a Corsair RM750x without an adapter or would I need one? Aren't the adapters for it infamous for lighting on fire?
>>102830066720 USD with VAT here. >>102830236Yes, yes, but you're not using a card that would probably take enough wattage to be a risk. make sure you plug the 12VHPWR in FULLY
>>102830205Those look like anti vibration HDD screws.
>>102830236I think you get an adapter in box
Factorio expansion comes out next week monday
>>102830447Based dev, my Phenom II can still game.
Should I go Core Ultra 7 or Ultra 9 if all I care about is a mostly silent PC and some videogames? More cores should mean more load = more heat, so less is more, right? And yes, Im aware Ryzen x3d is better for games, its just not my focus with this build. Which would be one more reason why 9 is overkill anyway.
>>102830522>wants less heat>is going intel?
Zen 5%Core ultra -2%this gen is shit
>>102830532x3d has terrible idle temps and non-x3d 9000 series sucks. So I rather take the more modern Intel chipset boards and hope that Intel actually delivers what they promise with their focus on efficiency. If benchmarks truly suck I will probably go AMD after all.
>>102830571idle temperature does not equal heat output
does the AMD 9000 series other advantages over the 7000 series even if they had the exact same price point? I am thinking of waiting for the 9600x3d but they are all kind of underwhelming. Currently on 5600x.Was hoping to keep my current power profile but it just doesn't look good.
>>102830571god you're so retarded. being at 40c but using 8w at idle and then 75C and 65W vs 25C and 8W vs 75C and 125W. The more watts you have to cool, the more heat is dumped into your case and therefore the fans will work harder to exhaust the hotter air
>>102830630compare the specs on amd.comanswer is not really
only 2 screws on this thing makes it feel unstable. but I'm afraid of cranking it down too hard.
>>102830970Even Noctua fans are like this, and they are the most autistic minmaxing, over-engineeering bunch in this business. I wouldnt really worry about it.
>>102830205https://www.amazon.ca/uxcellLaptop-Computer-Shockproof-Phillips-Screws/dp/B071FPQLMQ
do you think they will do something similar to this with RTX 5090?
I have always hated RGB it is a purely cosmetic addition to PC building. and I swore that I will never have a single RGB light in my. Until now, RGB actaully has a single specific use.If you have a full mesh case , having RGB gives you enough light to see if the fans are spinningI love RGB now!
>>102831061>not just running prime95 and listening out for your fans to spin up
>>102830571>x3d has terrible idle tempsWho fucking chooses a CPU based on this shit? What in the actual fuck?
Fuck heatsinks. >try screwing it down>its not threading with the screw underneath it>wtf>stuck doing this for 5 hours >eventually say fuck it and start pressing so hard out of frustration and eventually it seals>mfw unga always winsHow much easier are liquid coolers to install? I'm thinking about getting on but mt budgets was way surpassed and settled for the peerless assassin 120 se for $35.
>>102831076True but theres a benefit in being able to see if it spins during startup
WHy are all reasonably priced motherboard only having 4 SATA ports? Not sure if I gonna use more but I usually use 6 for all my builds. Is there any downside on using a PCIE or NVME SATA expansion card?
Poorfag here, 2700X and 1080, what do I upgrade first, CPU or GPU? 1080p only.
>>102831768budget?
>>102831786I'm pretty set on the 5700X3D and the 7900GRE, just not sure what to get first. In Europe so prices are high and real sales nonexistent.
>>102831845get the 5700X3D from Alihttps://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005007108289451.html
>>102831859With tax, that's more expensive than local. I'm hoping for a price like that on Black Friday but I'll settle for any discount. CPU first, then?
>>102831768that card still good for 1080p.
>>102831911really? it's like £180 on amazon here and like 140 with tax
Why would anyone buy a new GPU right now when the next gen is just around the corner?
>>102831976I'm guessing the UK import taxes aren't that high. Here I'd have to pay around 20 euros flat + 20% of product value to buy a CPU from China.
>>102832078we have to pay 20% VAT but because the item is under £138 we don't pay any import tax, even if I had to pay another £20 on top it's still cheaper than amazon. really surprised it's more expensive than the store
>>102832092Oh, in the EU the limit is 150 euros, not pounds, and for this particular CPU the difference matters. Fuck me, I guess.
>>102831983Still 3~4 months away from the actual product launch, availability is a different matter.NVIDIA's store queue seemed pretty decent during the 4080 Super launch.The FE's cooler still limits OC performance of a 350W limited card, I'd be underwhelmed if the RTX 5080 used the same FE cooler.
>>102832148there is a listing at 146eur here https://fr.aliexpress.com/item/1005007442107865.html
>>102832182>https://fr.aliexpress.com/item/1005007442107865.htmlholy fuck i just changed it and it's over 200 EUR???
>>102830562>can use his old shit for longer>complainsbased retard
>>102831768the CPU will be harder to upgrade down the line, but in reality I doubt you need anything for 60fps target.
>>102832199Cheapest I can find is 163E. With taxes that's around 215E, which is pretty much store price.
>>1028321793-4 months is nothing unless that card generates money for you.
>>102832265yikes feelsbadman. I'd say get the CPU first anyway
>>102831859How much are you getting paid to shill AliExpress CPUs in every single /pcbg/ thread? The few quid saved on the purchase price isn't worth having no warranty, abysmal customer support, and no legal recourse if the seller decides to just scam you.
>>102832333paypal and/or credit card chargebacks are awesome
>>102832179When I went to best buy on launch day they had everything in stock though besides the 90s.
>>102832422RTX 4080 probably was the most unpopular XX80 GeForce card NVIDIA ever released.Super was too late for some/many people who were just willing to wait a full year.
>>102827227It's just stuff I got for free and have slapped together

Here's what happens when you try to run 4x 16GB (1R) DDR5 @ 6400MT/s on AM5 (7800X3D).https://old.reddit.com/r/overclocking/comments/1g462pk/ram_speed_capped_at_3600mhz_when_i_have_6400mhz/That is with single-rank modules btw.Can't believe some clowns come to /pcbg/ and argue against those who want to save them some headache ("BUT IT WORKED FINE W DDR2/3/4").Use all 4 DIMMs if you're comfortable with manually tuning everything (voltages, FCLK, speed, timings, & all the associated stability tests) or you're just happy to run the sticks at 3600MT/s.For everyone else, get a single set of 2x16/24/32/48GB DDR5 modules.
>>102833515Oh okSo wait is that tinnitus shit a sign of autism as well?
8GB Vega 56 for $80 CAD or an 8GB GTX 1070 for $100 CAD?
>>102833533>Use all 4 DIMMs if you're comfortable with manually tuning everything (voltages, FCLK, speed, timings, & all the associated stability tests)if you don't want to configure your system correctly (or your IQ is too low) you shouldn't buy a PC anywayhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NtMIppL9UC4this is 4x48 dual rank modules btw, no problem if you know what you're doing
>>102833201RE Engine games do a bad job depicting their VRAM settings. The texture quality you choose is just the cache that the game sets aside. So 1GB for textures reserves 1GB and 8GB reserves 8GB. It doesn’t mean the game will actually load or make use of 8GB worth of textures. It’s why setting it to 1GB can look identical to 8GB.
>>102832078When I bought my cpu they lied about the value on the documentation>>102832092Bizarrely a few years ago it was the opposite. Under and it would be automatically added, over it was a manual declaration if caught at customs.
>>102832333If you get scammed on aliexpress you are stupid, there is also recourse for faulty products and you are unlikely to need a cpu warranty unless you are buying 13/24th gen intel.
>>1028335551070
>>102833639>lied about the valueSadly in my country every expensive imported thing requires you to personally go to the customs office with a receipt and bank statement, can't really cheat the system.

I'm planning on getting an RX6600, between the asrock challenger and the powercolor fighter, which one would you say is more well done? There is like a 5$ difference between the two so I could go with either one.
>>102834245def wait for 50xx gpus and buy one of those instead
Can't wait to get me a 5090 so I can just shitpost, play old video games, and run photoshop.
>>102833374
>>102834262I doubt I am going to be able to get any of them for like 210$
>>102834296what if you work a whole day at a minimum wage job and invest that into a gpu?
>>102833374>tfw using an RX570
>>102834245Both are fine, but neither will feel premium.The Fighter lacks a backplate, not a big deal if you treat the card well.My friend bought a 6600XT fighter towards the end of the pandemic shortages for about $300 and he's still happy with it.
>>102834306the poorest hobo in america is still richer than middle class in other countries.
>>102834306What if I just have better uses for my money? I really have no need for a more powerful card, it's that simple really. I'd rather spend the extra 100 on a cheap hooker.

Not sure if it's american education to blame or your incessant appetite for everything and anything concerning consumerism. But this is a very weird pattern concerning you people.

>12400f cited as budget buildBros i was for a long time considering going for a ryzen 5600 build(mostly because it mogs the i5 on cs2) but at the moment the prices converted are 115$ for i5 and 160$ for the r5, if this is still the case at black friday is the i5 the best option?My issue is with moba, is the h610 a good choice to save money since there is no OC option?Ty for any help
>>102836458you do know hes just a youtuber with zero games releasednow he can point out cases where some team did poor job optimizing a game but its not the same as releasing a game that does everything right
>>102836529these days the best budget cpu is 5700x3d, its cheap on aliexpress
>>102836517I don't think you should buy an AM4 machine unless you already have parts for itspend the extra 150 or so to get AM5 instead so you're not stuck being forced to upgrade your entire pc in the future>>102836502>>102835582oh also get the 7600 non X, the X is not worth 15€ more, just OC it yourself. The binning is not worth that much, it's just interesting in other places where it's like a 3-5$ difference
>>1028315714 is the minimum mandated by AMD. You would have 2 or 0 if that wasn't the case. I would love that, minimal bloat
I'm looking at the Dell G2724D for a monitor. Is there anything within an extra $100 of that worth getting instead? I'm only looking for 1080p or 1440p
>>102830970>>102830986noctua is 2 screws but the mounting system on that arctic (same as thermaltake toughair) is fucking garbage and it lets the coldplate twist and turn as you screw it down, which doesn't happen with noctua secufirm
>>102836554There is huge tariffs from aliexpress now unfortunately, 5700x3d its going basically at 2 times the price of 5600 so they are not in the same budget category
>>102836657still, its under 200€ generally and 5600x used to be 330€ at launchyou're getting much more bang for ur buck and its still budget, just not ultra budget
>>102836546Doesn't matter, he is absolutely right on TAA and its abortions (DLSS, FSR, etc) being cancer for image clarity.
>>102836413Can't say for 6600, but among 7800xt and 7900gre partner cards the Hellhound is the best performing model, leaving other competitors far behind in terms of thermals and noise. Fighter physically looks similar, you might even mistake it with Hellhound if you don't see the "Fighter" label printed on it, which lets me assume that heatsinks and overall thermal engineering of Fighter also isn't that much different.It's just my guess, you better look for actual tests in the internet.
>>102836683DLSS looks fine thojust because you dont own nvidia gpu doesnt change the fact people have just fine time playing with dlss and think "man this looks great"
>>102836568a ryzen 5600 + b550 + 32gb of ddr4 are like 200~250 bucks total, you can't beat that for a min-max 4K build, or just a general budget 60fps target build.
>>102836257No you just set the fans to whatever noise level you're comfortable with and let the CPU run at its thermal limit, a 7800X3D still produces less waste heat at 95C than an intel chip at 60C.
>>102836594Maybe if a good 240Hz 1440p monitor is available at that price range, and you plan to use that refresh rate.Beyond that, it's time to go OLED.
>>102836699>just because you dont own nvidia gpuI have a nvidia gpu, a low-end one but it can use DLSS, and is still shit. TAA and its abortions have been a disaster for gamer's eyes.

>>102836730I doubt I'd ever bother with anything above 144hz and I don't want OLED yet. Dell it is I guess.
>>102836704>you can't beat that for a min-max 4K build, or just a general budget 60fps target build.You can with intel, but let's disregard that for now.When that system eventually starts struggling, you'll now have to buy a new cpu, motherboard & ram and all your old parts will be effectively worthless.In comparison, with an AM5 system, you replace the CPU, sell the old one for some decent money (since it'll still be relevant for budget systems, as people can simply upgrade the cpu later) and you've got an upgraded system.It's a matter of what you prefer and I think buying the left is effectively throwing 200$ into a bonfireIf you absolutely HAVE to pinch pennies, just buy a cheaper equally futuredead build by going 12100f(60$ cheaper)/12400f(30$ cheaper) build instead, as it's cheaper with comparable performance (12100f a bit worse, 12400f a bit better)
>>102836686I am probably going to go with powercolor then since it's slightly cheaper as well. As long as the lack of a backplate isn't a problem the thermals should be as good if not better.
>>102836895The i5-12400f cooler is enough for light gayming right?Also would you just choose a h610 for a cheap build, i asked above about it because of the no overclock option on the 12400f as i understand
>>102837018apparently it is possible, it's called blck overclock and supposedly 12400f overclocks pretty damn well, being able to go above 5ghzhttps://der8auer.com/intel-alder-lake-non-k-oc/
>>102837109>>102837018sadly it seems like the compatible motherboards are too expensive for it to be worth it (at least the ones I saw)
>>102826625Just undervolted my 5800X3D (also installed a new motherboard and cleaned all rads and fans).Everything runs faster and my temps haven't reached 55°C yet.It feels so good Anons, why haven't I done this earlier.
>>102837177Sadly even small undervolts aren't 100% stable. They're absolutely worth it overall but I still get a random lockup once a month or so.
>>102837218There are CPU stress tests that automatically change the workload & thread usage to better gauge stability.But these are paid features.
>>102837218does this not depend on the particular CPU or GPU where some might be better than others at it (e.g., le "binning") same as for O/C capabilities?Sorry for the noob question but have no xp with undervolting.

The only responsability left for the gpu vendors is to implement these APIs properly in their driver.If remedy is too retarded to roll their own engine, maybe they should just buy unreal instead.It's 2024, the game came out 2023, Vulkan and DirectX12 existed for a decade, there is no excuse not using one of those and owning your rendering yourself.1 random example of some game dev fucking up on AMD is irrelevant, you can find a similar example for an Nvidia card no problem.

in-place upgrade with new windows install, easiest way to copy profiles/settings/programs over? normally I'd build a new machine and have 2 machines side by side and do it manually but I'm just upgrading cpu+motherboard+ssd so I'd only have the one machine running
Looking to upgrade my RAM from 16 GB to 32 GB. I have 2x8 GB 3000 MHz Corsair Vengeance RGB Pro. CPU is an AMD Ryzen 5 2600. There's a guy on marketplace selling the same model, same capacity but different frequency and timing (3200 MHz). I could also buy from Amazon but that would be a last resort since it would be costly to ship to my country. Is it a safe bet to pair the 3200 Mhz sticks with my existing one? Currently they all run in 2933 Mhz since the 2600 is rated for that speed. Thoughts?
>>102839103Oh okay, looks like the difference between the boosts is a 0.6% difference. I think this helped relieve my remorse. Thanks anon.
>>102839361your best bet is to get a complete new kit at 32gb and sell the 16gb kit
>>102839411That's what I'm thinking but i checked with different stores (physically and online) for the same kit. None of them have it anymore. Can't i just run 4 sticks? I've done it before (on Intel).
>>102839399Learn how to overclock, and then undervolt the GPU using MSI Afterburner.You can move the GPU core boost offset slider between +100~150MHz, and then cap the maximum voltage draw to about 950mV.Sub 1V limit will set your card to run more power efficiently and cooler.https://github.com/LunarPSD/NvidiaOverclocking/blob/main/Nvidia%20Overclocking.mdhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LPpW9yXHvOUI was able to get an "Excellent" Time Spy rating on an OC'd & UV'd 3080 12GB Ventus with base power limits.

>>102839503Why do cards run better when undervolted?
>>102839457you can but its jank
>>102839658because they don't fry their gates when the GPU calls for "moar powa scotty" while it's cocaine binging on clock speed
>>102839658It will boost at a constant clock rate and have more stable 1% lows from not hitting the power/thermal limits
>>102839624even if all 4 slots are filled?
>>102839658Contrary to what some people think, GPU manufacturers don't set perfectly fine-tuned V/F tables for each chip they produce.There's some voltage padding to deal with chip-by-chip performance variance and also to account for long-term stability.Processors slowly degrade over time (glacial pace), so the manufacturers add a bit of extra voltage to account for that, but this doesn't explain the total added voltage.Undervolting is trimming off that excess voltage, it helps your GPU run more power efficiently & cooler.The lower operating temp allows the GPU's boosting algorithm to run at faster clock speeds.The 3080 12GB Ventus I had would only run at 1845MHz at because it was inefficiently using over 1V at stock settings.Undervolted, it can boost up to 1890MHz drawing only 0.875V, 1935MHz @ 0.9V.
>>102839869yes
>>102839886Your GPU would definitely clock stretch or crash in rendering with that kind of undervolt. Nvidia knows what they're doing because they have machines that can use the test circuits to see the schmoo plot of each GPU tested.They aren't that common but there are GPUs that clock 100mhz higher than the average bin GPU like 4090s that do 2.85ghz ootb while typical ones stay at 2.70-2.76ghz

Best CPU cooler 55mm or shorter? Thermalright AXP90-X53 full copper or Noctua NH-L9a? For a Fractal Terra build with this GPU (ASUS Tuf 4070 S).
Are the offbrand gpus (msi, gigabyte, asus) a meme or an actually good cost effective alternative?
>>102840480They're the same any founders card but with different heatsinks and shrouds. Most come with some sort of custom overclock or something of that sort. Most of them have better cooling than whatever the founders edition cards are.
>>102840480It depends on the specific models and how much extra you're paying for the ones with larger heatsinks and fans.Like the Gigabyte 4060 Windforce is terrible that runs at maximum fan RPMs.
>order from 4 different retailers for optimal savings instead of ordering everything from amazon>2 parts from amazon arrive two days later>2 retailers only just shipped out today>1 retailer still hasn't shipped itfuck you canada computers, newegg and especially best buy for the no eta motherboard
>>102840535please be patient saaar
>>102840535Canada Computers and Memory Express is shit.Best to just do an in-store pickup.
>>102840459AMD cards are so heavily gimped for everything outside of gaming they often fail to match low tier NVIDIA cards like the 3050
Is this good?did I fuck somthing up?
>>102840459zluda pretty much does anything you want from an nvidia card besides dlss.
>>102840604I'm guessing you're not in the US because those storage drives are poor-value buys.At least the P31's known to be very power efficient.
>>102840612and besides having good performance, lmao

>>102840545It's my fault for ordering before a long weekend>>102840549I drilled down through the tracking pages and best buy says it hasn't been picked up yet but if you take the tracking number to the shipper it says it'll be here thursdaynewegg says it'll be here sometime between this thursday and next thursdaycanada computer hasn't even processed the order yet and when i go to the product page it says it's sold out. how much do you wanna bet they oversold and i'm waiting on a restock
>>102840621what's the right thing to get? there's so much to learn just to build a pchelp>I am at walking distance of the US
>>102840604spend the extra $25
>>102840660I tought someone said it wasnt good? what is the difference other than the price
>>102840535>see small business owners seething about people only buying electronics off amazon>go to small computer store>"do you guys carry cpu heatsinks?">"no, sorry, we don't sell those anymore">"ok, no worries, do you guys have any m.2 drives, sata cables, fan grills etc.?""oh, no sorry, we have a keyboard and mouse combo if you're interested, haha">go to bigger local electronics retailer>"do you guys have a network switch by chance">"a nintendo switch?">"right this way sir">fuck it>go to the farther away nerd store>ask the same questions>they say they don't sell those in store, but could get them delivered in a couple of weeks>all of their selection is outdated shitI'm not being facetious when I say that in the time it took me to drive around my town to talk to some underpaid retail workers, I could have had those items on my porch with same day delivery from amazon.It's dystopian, yes, but once you've tasted the forbidden fruit of convenience, there is no going back.

>>102840691>network switchyeah, maybe stick to amazon and leave the grass untouched, or it might get corroded with your absolutely atrocious aura.
>>102840691Nah, when you're dealing with computer parts it's better to do the research yourself and go to the brand's official store. Want TP Link switches? Go to their site. Want Cisco? Go to their site. Netgear? Same thing, go to their site.You only have yourself to blame.
